Yeah, that's exactly what I've heard before, but I've just never been able to stick with it that far.

B-but if we make Power Word: Shid Pants illegal, then only criminals will have Power Word: Shid Pants!!!

I've never been able to 'get' the witcher games. I've heard it said that the beginning is boring, and I should just plow through it, but its not just boring, it frustrating. And, I dunno, I think after the second try of playing it for a few hours and just hating it, I decided it wasn't really worth it. I've tried the other too (since I am not averse to 'old games' at all), and they similarly just, lack any real appeal to me.

I feel like its the same thing with Skyrim. This game that is rated so highly by so many people, that is so similar to games I do love, but I just don't 'get it', for whatever vague reasons it is to no be gripped by a piece of media.

I guess it doesn't help that I find the books pretty mid. Like, they are enjoyable, but also don't really feel all the special or unique to me.

If the target is already captured or subdued, nothing can oneshot them. That's just coup de grace.

"one shot" says to me that it instantly kill or removes as a threat an as-of-yet untouched and un-interacted-with target.

Not much. But also, probably doesn't hurt, and placebo is nice.

B vitamins might give you a (very small) energy boost.

Zinc might help immune system a tiny bit.

There's been a bit of evidence macrodoesing C helps, bit also more evidence it does nothing. So, think its (mostly harmless) bunk science.

Biggest boost might just be encouraging you to hydrate, with electrolytes. Cause drinking plenty of fluids almost definitely will help.

I'm the opposite. I can't ever 'zone out' while listening/watching/reading/playing stuff; I can't even listen to music while playing games, and usually turn background music on low or off.

I am still like this with movies and TV.

It just doesn't appeal to me. I've seen a handful of movies/shows that I'd call "not boring as shit" ever, and even then, its not something I'd choose to do myself, but is fine if I'm, like, chillin and chatting with people or whatever.

Might be my neurodivergence, might also just be how much of a reader I am. Movies are just so slow compared to reading.

Planescape Torment's story rocks. The gameplay sucks ass though.

Yes, was going to bring up Fate! I really like systems that split damage into 'heroic near misses or light damageless scrapes' and 'actual wounds', without getting too bogged down in random tables and lookup charts.

Would be nice to play it some

Pity that I can't really, unless I want to deal with it crashing every half-hour or so

In addition to being mid, it's also super biggy atm. Some people have it be fine until the later acts, but our grouos has barely made any progress do to all of us experiences crashes super often
